Receives   the    Contributions  of  Christians   of  all  Denominations,  who,  through    it,  lay   their 

Offerings    of   Patriotism    upon    the    Altar    of  Piety,    and   lead   the    Soldiers 

of  the    Country   to   become   the    Soldiers    of  the    Cross.

The  Army  of  tbc  Southern  Confederacy  is  the  most  important  field  for  religious  labor  in  the  wide 
world.  If  this  Laud  of  ours,  placing  itself  under  the  pi'otection  of  Messiah,  the  exalted  Head  of  all 
power,  the  Governor  amongst  the  nations,  shall  reader  unto  Him  the  honor  which  is  His  due,  and 
prove  steadfast  in  its  allegiance  to  Him,  then  what  mind  can  conceive,  or  language  depict,  the  splendor 
of  its  destiny— the  stately  march  of  its  sublime  career,  as  it  rises  to  unquestioned  pre-eminence,  and 
wears  its  crown  of  glory,  and  wields  its  sceptre  of  influence  amongst  the  Powers  of  Earth ! 
But,  the  choicest  portum  of  tlie  country,  ihe  jloiuer  ofUie  South,  ivhich  will  of  necessity^'ijive  charcNer  to 
the  Confederacy,  and  control  it  for  years  to  come,  is  found  in  the  Army.  Hence,  the  importance  of 
consecrating  to  CHRIST  this  mighty  influence.  And  hence  the  importance  of  sustaining  au 
enterprise,    which  seeks  to   accomplisli  this  great    end. 

About  Fifty  Millions  of  Pages  of  Tracts,  and  thousands  of  Gospels  and  Hymn  Books  have  been 
distributed  from  this  Depository,  gratuitously  amongst  the  Soldiers  of  every  Army  of  the  Confederacy 
The  seed  has  not  been  sown  in  vain.  Numerous  letters  from  Chaplains,  Officers  and  Privates, 
testify  to  the  great  good  which  has  been  accomplished,  and  shew  that  the  literature  thus  dis- 
seminated, has  been,  to  a  considerable  extent,  instrumental  in  producing  and  sustaining  the  won- 
derful Revival  with  which  God  has  blessed  Our  Armies,  and  which,  in  the  past  year,  has  addod 
more   than   twelve  thousand  Soldiers  to  the  churches. 

Generals  Lee,  Jackson,  Kirby  Smith,  and  other  Army  Officers  ;  Captains  Lee,  Pegram.  and 
others  of  the  Navy  ;  and  many  eminent  Statesmen  •  of  the  Confederacy ;  have  giVen  their  vol- 
untary testimony   to   the  valuable    service   rendered   to   the   country  by   this   in.?u-umentality. 

The  expenditure  of  means  involved  is  very  great,  and  douatiou.s  for  tho^  support  ol  this 
enterprise  are  respectfully  solicited  from  all,  everywhere,  who  have  at  licart  the  religious  wel- 
fare of  our   Soldiers,  and   the   advancement   of   the  Kingdom  of    our  Lord  Jesus    Christ.
